#Firearms #CA

This is interesting. I didn't know anything about this until today.

As of July 1, 2026:

**Glocks and Glock-style handguns no longer for sale in California**

"California will no longer allow firearms dealers to sell a common type of handgun — one also favored by former Vice President Kamala Harris. The law, passed last year and challenged in a National Rifle Association lawsuit before it was dropped, bans the sale of Glock and Glock-style handguns. It reclassified the weapon as a type of machine gun, because the pistols can be easily converted into automatics with a converter.

The ban applies only to new sales, and won’t prevent private sales. If Harris still has the Glock she referenced while running for president in 2024, she’s still allowed to own it."

I own 6 different Glock variations & can legally carry 2 of them. Guess they'll be worth a lot more now in the CA resale market. 🤷‍♂️
